- Business Address Duffy Roofing Co.'s listed address at 2281 Dorchester Ave, Boston, MA 02124 appears to be a business address. This means the company operates from a real, locatable address rather than a mailbox or PO box, which can make it easier to reach them or resolve issues.

These show the company met a manufacturer's program requirements and may offer manufacturer-backed warranties, but they aren't independent quality audits.

This is a plain average of public customer ratings, not a RooferWatch score.

Several customers describe the team as knowledgeable about roofing materials and approaches, particularly for complex projects on older homes. Reviewers consistently mention clear communication from staff members like Garrett and Brett regarding timelines, protection of property, and neighbor considerations. Multiple customers note competitive or fair pricing and appreciate that the company avoided unnecessary work or hidden charges.

However, one reviewer expressed significant dissatisfaction, describing the owner as rude and lacking tact, and criticizing his handling of roof issues and communication about necessary repairs on a 100+ year old building. That reviewer stated they would not recommend the company.
